Özer is a prominent young bureaucrat who is, despite her assumed adherence to the state, brave enough to come up with a bald new perspective on the human rights affairs of Turkey so harshly slashed at times, both by those who support the practises and those who oppose them. I have the privilige to know this discerning author personally, and it would be safe for me to say that she never gets satisfied before any subject she sets forth is fully researched, reviewed, analyzed, and interpreted down to each and every detail and and through all angles of view available, and the book only proves the point. The book gets four stars for I know its author could bring whole a lot more on the table of discussion, though what is served may already pass for some concerned onlookers as a feast of varied flavor and bitterness altogether.
